NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

How much do London Tube and bus fares cost?

Share this with

As more Londoners return to venues and offices around the capital, surely that’ll mean a few more bus and Tube rides, too.

Perfect timing! On March 1, Transport for London ’s fares will see the biggest price hike in a decade …

While the (average) 4.8% rise in ticket costs may be inevitable due to the pandemic, it’s useful to know how much you’ll be shelling out for your daily bus journey or Tube trip going forward.

Here are the current prices – and what they’re going up to.

How much does the London Tube cost?

Right now, a single Tube journey in one zone costs £2.40. By March 1, the cost will rise by 10p to £2.50.

How much you’ll need to pay for a single fare or ticket really depends on where you’re going, though. TfL has a single fare finder which will tell you the cost of your planned journey.

Daily caps will rise, too, but again how much by will depend on what zones you need to travel through – and whether you need to travel Anytime or during Off-Peak hours.

For Daily Anytime caps, the change will be as follows:

Zone 1 only: £7.40 currently, rising to £7.70

Zone 1 – 2: £7.40 currently, rising to £7.70

Zone 1 – 3: £8.70 currently, rising to £9

Zone 1 – 4: £10.60 currently, rising to £11

Zone 1 – 5: £12.70 currently, rising to £13

Zone 1 – 6: £13.50 currently, rising to £14.

Weekly caps (covering Monday to Sunday) will also rise, going up to:

Zone 1 only: £37 currently, rising to £38.60

Zone 1 – 2: £37 currently, rising to £38.60

Zone 1 – 3: £43.50 currently, rising to £45.20

Zone 1 – 4: £53.20 currently , rising to £55.20

Zone 1 – 5: £63.30 currently, rising to £65.70

Zone 1 – 6: £67.70 currently, rising to £70.30.

The more zones you need to include, the more chance there is your daily/weekly cap will be higher. It can also vary depending on whether or not you need to travel through Zone 1.

How much are London bus fares?

Bus tickets for a single journey are set to rise from the current price of £1.55 to £1.60.

The daily cap, covering journeys happening in the space of 24 hours, will rise by 30p. It’s currently £4.65, and from March 1 will be £4.95.

And the weekly cap is going up to £23.30 – which is £1.40 more than the existing £21.90.

These price rises will also apply to the caps on London’s network of trams, too.

Fortunately, the Hopper Fare will still be in place, meaning you can change to another bus or tram within an hour of tapping in, and only get charged for one journey.

Full list of fare hikes from March 1 across bus and Tube network

• Cost of pay-as-you-go Tube journeys within zone one will go up by 10p to £2.50.
• Bus trips to increase by 10p to £1.65 (the Hopper fare allows multiple journeys within the hour)
• Daily cap on multiple pay-as-you-go Tube journeys to rise by 3.8%.
• Daily bus journeys cap to go up 30p to £4.95.
• Minimum cash fare on the Tube up 80p to £6.30.
• Trips on the Emirates cable car to go up 25% to £5, with return tickets no longer available.

The above figures on include adult fares, but there are discounted fees for young people (under 18s), apprentices and those who are currently unemployed.

People over 60 are entitled to free travel across London’s transport network, too, with a photo ID Oyster card.

But to work out your own daily, weekly or monthly costs for specific bus rides, Tube journeys – and whether you save money with a travel card instead – visit Transport for London for their full list of fees.

London Bus Tickets & Passes

Buses are the cheapest way to travel around London. There are no zones for bus travel — a single bus ticket is the same price whether your journey is in zone 1 or if you pass through several zones.

We list the options available to pay for single bus tickets or for unlimited bus travel for one day, one week or one month.

Single bus tickets: Oyster/contactless single bus fares 2024

London buses are ‘cashless’. You can’t buy a bus ticket on the bus.

To pay for travel by bus in London you need one of the following:

• a Pay as you go Oyster card
• a contactless credit or debit card
• One Day Bus & Tram Pass
• a weekly/monthly Bus Pass
• a paper One Day or Weekly Travelcard
• a weekly/monthly Travelcard loaded onto an Oyster card

Fare below are valid until the beginning of March 2025.

A single bus fare costs  £1.75 with a Pay as you go Oyster card and contactless credit/debit card.

‘One Hour’ hopper fare

There is a ‘one-hour’ hopper fare for Pay as you go Oyster/contactless card users. You can take as many bus journeys as you want in a one-hour period for  £1.75 .

The hopper fare also applies if you use the tube or train between your bus journeys.

One day bus travel: Oyster/contactless daily bus fares 2024

Bus ‘daily cap’.

When you use a Pay as you go Oyster or a contactless card to pay for bus travel, there’s a ‘daily cap’.

This is the maximum amount deducted from your card for unlimited travel by bus in London in one day.  If you make 3 or more bus trips*,  £5.25 is taken from your Oyster/contactless card.

How does the ‘daily cap’ for buses work?

• If you make 1 bus trip*, £1.75 is deducted from your card
• If you make 2 trips, £3.50 is deducted
• If you make 3 trips, £5.25 is deducted from your Oyster card
• Your 4th trip and all other trips you make until 4.30am the following morning are free.

* a ‘bus trip’ means either a single trip on a bus or an unlimited amount of bus trips in a one hour period.

There’s no peak or off-peak rate for the bus ‘daily cap’; you can travel around the whole of London between 4.30am until 4.29am the following day for the same price.

One day bus pass

If you don’t want to use an Oyster card and don’t have a contactless card, you can buy a One Day Bus Pass for  £5.90 .

• This is a paper ticket giving you unlimited bus travel until 4.29am the following day.
• Available from all underground station ticket machines, Oyster ticket stops , London Overground ticket offices, train station ticket offices and Transport for London Visitor Centres .

Weekly bus pass 2024

If you are visiting London for 5, 6 or 7 days and only use buses, a one-week bus pass costs  £24.70 .

• The pass entitles you to unlimited travel on buses all over London within zones 1–6.
• The pass can start on any day of the week and is valid for travel at any time within the dates specified.
• Weekly bus passes are loaded onto an Oyster card ( £7 fee).

Compared to the cost of a weekly Travelcard , it’s good value.

Weekly bus cap with an Oyster card 2024

If you have an Oyster card, bus fares are capped from Monday to Sunday (the same as contactless cards ). This means you will not pay more than  £24.70 , the cost of the standard weekly bus pass.

The fares are calculated from Monday to Sunday, so it mainly benefits people living and working in London rather than visitors.

If you plan to visit London for seven days and first use the buses on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday buy an ordinary weekly bus pass instead.

Monthly bus pass 2024

A one month bus pass is  £94.90 .

There’s not a huge saving compared to buying 4 x weekly passes, but it saves remembering to renew.

Monthly bus passes are loaded onto an Oyster card.

Where to buy a weekly or monthly bus passes

Underground station ticket machines.

Weekly or monthly bus passes are available from underground station ticket machines.

Oyster Ticket Stops

Oyster Ticket Stops are newsagents and local shops that sell London transport passes and Oyster cards. Find your nearest Oyster Ticket Stop .

Other bus ticket info

Are travelcards valid on buses.

Yes, one day, weekly or monthly Travelcards are valid on London buses. Travelcards valid for any zone can be used to ride the buses all over London. For example, if you have a zone 2-3 weekly or monthly Travelcard you can use it to travel on buses in zone 1 (central London).

Single bus fares for children

All children aged 10 and under travel for free on London buses. See  child tickets & passes for bus fare information for older children.

Bus Saver tickets

These are no longer available to buy. If you have a Bus Saver ticket, it is still valid. Just show it to the bus driver when boarding the bus.

‘One more journey’ feature

If you don’t have  £1.75 on your Oyster, you can still use it to pay for a bus trip as long as you have between 1p–£1.75 credit on your Oyster card. The next time you top-up your card, you need to clear the negative balance before it can be used again.

Tfl fare increase explained: how much london’s tube, bus and train prices are rising and when it’s happening, london mayor sadiq khan has announced tfl prices will rise for the second year in a row and says government are not funding the transport network properly.

The price to travel on London’s tube and bus network is set to rise by nearly 5 per cent, the London Mayor has announced.

The Transport for London (TfL) increases, which are the biggest in more than a decade, will come in from Tuesday 1 March.

Here’s everything you need to know about why the change are happening and what Sadiq Khan has said.

How much are TfL fares rising?

The London Mayor said that pay as you go fares will increase by ten pence in zone one – from £2.40 rising to £2.50. A single bus fare will also rise by ten pence – to £1.65.

The average fare rise of 4.8 per cent is in line with the rate of inflation but some bus fares will rise by 6.5 per cent, as TfL struggles to fund the network.

It comes as the Government’s arrangement with the transport company is due to end this week. The Government bailed them out three times following the drop of demand for travel during the pandemic after the Prime Minister introduced working from home.

The third agreement for funding since March 2020 saw more than £4 billion pumped into the system but according to a TfL finance report, there is still a £1.9 billion funding gap.

The price inflation is the second imposed by the mayor in two years – circumstances that Mr Khan blamed on the level of Government funding for TfL .

He warned that if a resolution for the funding gap was not reached, Tube services could be reduced by 10 per cent and bus services by one fifth.

When the agreement with the Government ends on 18 February, unions fear the spending cuts could result in job losses and reduction in pay and pensions.

Funding was originally extended to 4 February and again to a fortnight later.

On 4 February, members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) announced their plan to stage two 24-hour strikes over the issue in March.

Since 2016, fares have increased by 13 per cent, compared to the 42 per cent rise when Boris Johnson was mayor between 2008 and 2016.

More on TfL

What has Sadiq Khan said?

Sadiq Khan said: “Public transport should be affordable to all, and I’ve taken bold action to ensure this since I became mayor by introducing the unlimited Hopper bus fare and freezing all TfL fares from 2026-2021 – saving the average London household over 200.

“We have been forced into this position by the Government and the way it continues to refuse to properly fund TfL, but I have done everything in my power to keep fares as affordable as possible.”

TfL, which Khan chairs, must agree a long-term funding arrangement with the Government by Friday 18 February.

Before 2020, when the Covid pandemic hit England, 70 per cent of TfL’s income came directly from fares but it was hit heavily when commuters and holidaymakers stopped travelling.

An annual grant income for £700 million was phased out between 2015 and 2019 but reliance on the central Government resumed following the pandemic.

The Department for Transport said it had provided £4.5 billion in emergency funding to TfL and pledged £1 billion annually until at least 2024 while it rebuilds financial sustainability.

Shashi Verma, director of strategy at TfL, said about the upcoming fares: “This fares package aims to keep fares as affordable as possible while still ensuring TfL can continue to run, clean, green and safe services and support London’s continues economic recovery.”

London tube and bus fares will go up by 6% from March

The biggest price hike in a decade comes hot on the heels of multiple strikes across the capital’s transport network

Just as Londoners resigned themselves to another year of continual public transport disruption, with a series of strikes affecting tubes, buses, rail and Overground services that are continuing into 2023, now the cost of their often-non-existent travel is set to go up significantly.

How much will TfL tube and bus fares increase by?

It’s been announced that fares across the TfL network – that’s buses, tubes and some trains – will rise by 5.9 percent this year. It’s the biggest rise in fares for a decade. It’s also worth remembering that there was a 5 percent increase in TfL fares this time last year. Bus fares will go up by another 10p (like last year), meaning a single journey will now cost £1.75. The daily and weekly price caps on pay-as-you-go tube fares will increase by up to 6.7 percent, depending on the number of fare zones travelled. The rise had been on the cards for a while , with Sadiq dues to make a final call on it.

Will it vary in different zones?

Yes. Depending on the zone, a one-way fare will rice from between 10p and 30p. A Zone 1 peak fare will go up by 30p, whereas off-peak will be 20p. Zone 1–2 will go up by 30p during peak hours and 20p during off-peak. Zones 1–3,4,5 and 6 will rise by 10p during peak and off-peak times. 

When does the price increase come into effect?

TfL fares will go up from March 2023. 

Why are fares going up?

It’s part of TfL’s long-term strategy to get the network back on a more stable financial footing following the ravages inflicted by the pandemic and lockdowns. The organisation is seeking to generate £6 billion a year in fare revenue over the next few years, a 40 percent increase.    

Any other bad news for Londoners?

Naturally. London commuters can expect a similar price increase for TfL fares this time next year as well. Oh, and restrictions on over-60s  travelling for free before 9am that was introduced during the pandemic is now being made permanent, supposedly generating an extra £40m a year in revenue.

Full details of TfL fares can be found here .

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

350 bus route in Hayes

By clicking on each of the buttons below you can read more about what we propose and how this may impact you.

You can also view route maps, ask questions and have your say.

You have until Wednesday 31 July 2024 to give us your feedback.

By clicking on each of the buttons below, you can read more about what is proposed and how this may impact you. You can also view maps, ask questions, give feedback, and find out about other ways to get in touch and take part.

Bus route 350 currently operates between Heathrow Terminal 5 and Station Road/Millington Road in the London Borough of Hillingdon.

We are proposing to reroute the 350 south of Hayes and Harlington Station to serve Nestles Avenue, instead of continuing to Fairey Corner and Millington Road.

Our aim is to bring homes closer to the London bus network and provide a quick link to Hayes and Harlington Station for national rail and Elizabeth line services. This includes new homes as part of the Hayes Village development.

Nestles Avenue

If we were to reroute the 350 as proposed, subject to agreement with the London Borough of Hillingdon, the following changes to the road layout would be needed along Nestles Avenue:

• A new pair of bus stops at the approximate locations of Sandow Crescent, towards North Hyde Road, and Black Rod Close, towards Station Road
• A new bus stop and bus stand with space for buses to turn and bus driver facilities at the eastern end of the road
• Changes to the traffic restriction at the junction of Nestles Avenue and Station Road to allow buses to make a right turn. The current left turn only restriction for all other vehicles would remain

Why we propose to reroute the 350

• We want to link existing and new homes along Nestles Avenue to the bus network to make it easier for residents to access other bus routes the Elizabeth Line and national rail services
• Approximately 1,400 new homes are planned as part of the canal-side Hayes Village development at the site of the former Nestlé Factory
• We are expecting more demand for bus services as the community continues to grow

London’s bus network is our most affordable, accessible, and available form of public transport and offers the main sustainable alternative to cars for those journeys that cannot easily be walked or cycled. It is also London’s most flexible mode of public transport.

We continuously review and adapt the bus network to reflect changing customer needs. This includes:

• Proposing adjustments to existing routes to ensure services are operating in areas where our customers need them most
• Considering where else the network should serve
• Considering areas where emerging redevelopment is bringing new homes and building new communities

Read more about how we are increasing the number of bus journeys by making bus travel better, faster and greener in our Bus action plan .

How it impacts you

Bus stop changes.

The following bus stops towards Heathrow Terminal 5 would no longer be served the 350 if it were to be rerouted:

• Bus stops P for Millington Road
• Bus stop K for Fairey Corner

The following bus stop towards Millington Road would no longer be served by the 350 if it were to be rerouted:

• Bus stop F for Fairey Corner

Typically, 195 passengers each day currently travel to/from stops P, K and F. These three stops also provide access to the Asda Superstore.

If the 350 were to be rerouted as proposed passengers would need to change bus at Hayes and Harlington Station, or walk to complete their journey south of Nestles Avenue

• The walking distance is up to 580 metres
• Alternatively, passengers could change to another bus service instead of walking
• Suggested routes to complete a journey include bus routes: 90, 278, H98 and U4

New journey opportunities

The following bus stops would be planned on Nestles Avenue. Suggested locations are indicative and have been selected where we believe they would have the least impact:

• Sandow Crescent, towards North Hyde Gardens
• Black Rod Close, towards Heathrow Terminal 5
• North Hyde Gardens for boarding and alighting

The proposed bus stops would create new, direct bus journeys between Nestles Avenue and Hayes town centre, Hayes and Harlington Station for the Elizabeth Line, other local bus routes and Heathrow Airport.

The following network map shows how the local bus network would change:

Impact of needing to change bus

The following concerns may arise for passengers that need to change bus. This may affect older, younger, and disabled people and passengers with luggage, young children and buggies.

• A longer overall journey time due to the need to change bus
• Concern about the interchange environment (for example, lack of seating and shelter while waiting for the next bus)
• Concern about crowding when joining the bus (for example, less space or less chance of a seat being available)
• Concern at having to change bus at night, in hours of darkness
• Concern journeys would become more expensive if using more than one bus

To help mitigate against these concerns:

• The proposals aim to ensure bus services would meet customer demand, and crowding on the bus is not expected
• The ‘ Hopper’ bus fare provides the ability to make a second bus journey within 60 minutes of boarding the first, at no additional cost

Our initial Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) identifies in more detail:

• The affects these proposals could have on people
• How we propose to minimise any negative impact
• After we’ve considered all comments, the EqIA will be reviewed and updated.

We use the EqIA to help us decide if, and how, we should proceed with these proposals.

Connect Niagara bus fares to be waived next week

All rides on the Connect Niagara bus line will be free on four days next week.

The bus line has five routes on which passengers can get around Niagara County on weekdays, Monday through Friday. Normally the fare is $2 on route and $4 off route (more than 0.75 miles off route), and transfers to connecting routes and the NFTA Metro service are free. Anyone who calls one day ahead of their trip can be picked up at their residence, and anyone along a route can flag down a Connect Niagara bus and be picked up right where they are.

Formerly named Niagara Rural Transportation service, Connect Niagara scrapped the older circular routes centered around SUNY Niagara, and went with routes that run back and forth across the county.

The Green Route connects downtown Lockport, Wrights Corners, Newfane, Olcott Beach and Barker.

The Gold Route connects Lockport, Gasport and Middleport.

The Purple Route connects Lewiston, Porter, Wilson and Cambria.

The Red Route connects North Tonawanda, Wheatfield, the town of Niagara, Niagara Falls and Lewiston.

The Blue Route connects Niagara Falls and Lockport.

Presently, most Connect Niagara riders are SUNY Niagara students or clients of Intandem, an agency serving people with disabilities, according to Daniel Quinn, confidential assistant to Niagara County public works commissioner Garret Meal.

The offer of free rides on all routes on July 1, July 2, July 3 and July 5 is an attempt to encourage more county residents to give the bus service a try.

“If it’s someone who wants to go into the city, go to the theater for some show, or someone wants to come from Lockport to see the county, this is perfect,” Quinn said. “You can get out there and experience it. We’ve got a lot of great parks. Walking trails, disc golf. If you want to go to Lewiston you can walk Center Street. It’s wonderful.”
